Psychosocial-behavioral phenotyping: a novel precision health approach to modeling behavioral, psychological, and social determinants of health using machine learning.
The purpose of this study was to demonstrate a novel application of machine learning for psychosocial-behavioral phenotyping, which includes the identification of subgroups with similar combinations of psychosocial characteristics. The researchers conducted a secondary analysis of psychosocial and behavioral data from a community cohort (n = 5,883). The study found 20 psychosocial-behavioral phenotypes. Each phenotype suggested different contextual considerations for intervention design. The researchers concluded that psychosocial-behavioral phenotypes can identify possible targets of intervention.

Using health information technology to bring social determinants of health into primary care: a conceptual framework to guide research.
The investigators recently proposed a conceptual framework to illustrate how health information technology can be used to bring social determinants of health information into primary care. In this paper, they describe how they are putting this conceptual model into practice within the OCHIN network of community health centers by highlighting examples of ongoing research, identifying knowledge gaps, and outlining a roadmap of future research to move the field forward.
